Lesson 4

Communication serves five main functions: 1) Control and regulation, such as a school implementing rules for students to follow; 2) Social interaction, as communication allows people to interact with others on a daily basis; 3) Motivation, both internal and external motivation, such as a student being motivated to study from a desire to graduate with honors or a promise of a reward; 4) Emotional expression, where communication facilitates expressing feelings like concern over an approaching typhoon; 5) Information dissemination, as events need to be communicated so people are informed, like informing about a new school policy.
